Sorry I can't post a video.
Here's where Im at so far-- I believe its the timing belt--no compression when tried to restart, no fluid leaks at all. Had the car 7 yrs & only things done besides tune up & oil changes-- Alternator,radiator, lower rad hose, thermostat, fenders, front bumper cover, passenger side hi-beam, sylvania bulbs. Its at the shop waiting its turn. Did some searching & with the tips here, will be doing seals & water pump. Sooo--do the timing belt & tensioners & gaskets come in kits or is everything separately purchased? I have to go to the shop first thing Monday morning & discuss this with the mechanic. He has never done anything like this before. I have no time nor all the tools to do it. I leave for work at 4:15 AM & get home around 7PM. I know you folks are eager to help-- Words cannot express my humble & heart-felt thanks!! |
